Building An Rb26 For Response....

[XKLABA]

If only Nissan did this :(

And put it on an alloy block and 3.0ltrs, that would be unbelievabley quick

so......VQ37HR or what ever it is

[XKLABA]

Haha yeah pretty much

[harks]

hangon, forgive my ingorance here, but how does one simply add VVT to an RB26 head? i've heard of the HKS VCON, (or whatever it is called) and the NEOs have VVT but not the 26 heads, or have i TOTALLY miussed something?

cheers

Yep, anything can be added for a price.

[harks]

Just fit VCT, its a piece of piss and worth its weight in gold low and mid torque / power wise.

so is this ^^ just meaning add a 26 plenum to a 25NEO head to your 26 block, to make an RB26 with VCT?

[GTRsean]

Plus an external oil feed... and make the solenoid clear the top water hose etc.

[scotty nm35]

No, you would need to keep the 26 head or nothing would fit. Just retrofit the advance mechanism to the cam and make it work.

I did not see a How to on this =(

but what about the tuning part?

HKS have a kit to retrofit the VQ35 constantly variable gear to the front of the 26 cam, with tuning solutions. Otherwise the Haltech/link etc can be programmed if you have a good tuner.

RB25 VCT would be easier to retrofit, but a 'how to' is a while away. Unless you want to fit it yourself and take pics?

[omnigear]

I dont have the facility to do it here. All of my tools is in California

nor do i have the knowledge to do it . not sure what to swipity swap n all that jazz.

RB25 NEO?

So contact HKS if you are in Japan. If you can get detailed diagrams, let me know, I would love to copy their setup.

serious question.. what do you think would yeild better response on a rb26 with -5s.

1) Carbon driveshaft

2) Upgrade -5s to gtx2860 wheel ??

Pretty much done everything else I could done as far as supporting mod. I could potentielly go with raw brokerage pte 6266 turbo kit but heck thats some massive work..

Carbon driveshaft won't do much for how the turbos will respond. You notice the throttle response improve a bit.

You want response, 6262 would be your pick, not a 6266.

Cheap upgrade considering the gains and what is in the kit.

[XKLABA]

I don't think so, I still think the correct cams dialed in properly with the right turbo-cam combo will give good enough results to not warrant the money for VCT, find away to add the lift and duration change aswell as timing and then that would be worth the $1K US their asking

Just my 2c

[reaper]

I think you mean 6k not 1k and thats just for step 1, step 2 and step pro need different pistons plus the step 2 and step pro kits are a bit more expensive to being with.

[reaper]

The 1k is just for the step 2 camshaft not for the kit. If you want to buy me a step pro kit ill sell you my step 1 kit

damn google xlate

6k... money can go else where ^_^
